Here is a pix of some Panache cuttings, to show the stripes in the bark. If you are looking for a Panache and the wood is not striped, it is not Panache. These examples are quite pronounced, and some are not as vivid, but there will always be some evidence of striping. As the wood grows older, it looses the stripes, but 1st year wood will be striped. In contrast wood from the SAME tree (not grafted) which has reverted (hence my "Reverse" fig) shows no striping at all.

Wish the rest of the figs came with their own label.

John,
hope to get some scion of panache this Feb . I know what you mean about stripes on the wood as my jt does that and late in year as plant wood ages they diminish a great deal and then no more.
I know this type is not good for my climate but it will compliment my plant and its fun and those chimera types are most beautiful at least to me. 

Being relatively new to figs, I didn't realize that the wood showed some striping as well as the fruit.

I just think it's great that you can have a plant that produces a fruit that looks so cool and you can eat it too! Awesome!

I received some cuttings from moshepardess that she rec'd as Panache but didn't turn out that way - no striped fruit. Not sure yet if it's the reverted form or just something that was mis-labled.

I agree if every variety had its own bar code, something like Panache then there will be less need for DNA tests.
